cmd-test

This console application helps in testing other console applications by checking the output against specific rules specified by the user as regular expressions.

The application expects as arguments one or more control files that consist of commands. Each line is interpreted and compared against a list of known commands. Comments must stay on their own line and should start with a # sign.

The documentation uses the term target to refer to a program that is being tested. To create a new target use the TARGET command. To change current target use the SWITCH command. Targets are discarded only at the end of the program. If you do not check explicitly for program exit using END TARGET or EXIT CODE, the program will check this itself at the end. Finding a target still running at this point is considered to be a failed test.
